MANGO & CHICKEN BLACK BEAN SALAD

May 12, 2016

Salads that have a little color from every part of the rainbow are pretty to look at and usually bring great texture along too. I love how the mango naturally sweetens this salad, so the dressing needs no sugar.

Basing the salad with beans instead of lettuce makes it an ideal take-to-work-the-next day lunch since it stays hearty even when refrigerated overnight.

In a large bowl, stir together black beans, mango, red onion, tomato, bell pepper, and green onion. In a separate bowl, whisk together lime juice, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and salt. Toss salad in dressing and top with shredded chicken and peanuts.
